The Wiimote is a revolutionary game controllers created by Nintendo for its Wii console and changed the concept of making the game player at the center of the physical interactions of the video game.

While in the normal game controller maximum interaction with the game were the buttons and force feedback, we have motion and aiming sensors in the Wiimote, so the console “know” what they are doing and where is the player in relation to the TV.
